Sir,
Mr Amos Fox, now deceased, formerly of this State, was a soldier in the revolutionary war, and by reason of whose services, then rendered, Mrs Lemina Fox, now of this place, & now as heretofore a widow of the said Amos, drew a pension for several years past & until quite recently, when on requisition of the agent of the Department at Hartford, in this State, she gave up her certificate; - the time limiting the Gov t bounty, in such cases, having expired. It has been suggested that, by the provisions of a recent law of Congress, there has been an extension of that time, in favor of the widows heretofore drawing pensions &c; and, if this were true, she desires information as to what preliminary measures, if any, it will become necessary for her to take, to entitle her to the benefit of that, or any, provision now existing in favor of pensions in her present condition.
Very respectfully yours Gideon Hall Jr.

Sir:
Several months ago, I had occasion to transmit to the Pension Department certain papers or documents with a view to obtain what I supposed was an arrearage of pension for Mrs. Senina Fox. The papers thus transmitted were enclosed, if I rightly recollect, with an application sustained with accompanying evidence in favor of Mrs. Smith, widow of Capt. Tabina Smith late of this place deceased. The latter application was granted, but the former has not been, tho' attended with what was deemed the requisite proof. I have never been advised, at all events, of any deficiency in this particular, or of the cause of failure. If any communication of the kind has ever been addressed me, with such evidence or information, such communication never reached me I am quite confident. As the application of Mrs. Fox went on in connection with that of Mrs. Smith, I have thought that it was quite possible that the former might have been laid, inadvertently, with the latter. and thus both laid aside by some of the clerks of the Dept. t Others (tho' I do not know that such was the case with Mrs. Smith's application, & believe it was not) in similar condition with Mrs. Fox, in consequence of some peculiar provision of the pension law, or of some peculiar but admitted construction of that law, have received, as I have been informed, an addition to the allowance for five years, a small sum in addition for the fractional part of an year, perhaps. — Someone, please have the

goodness to advise me in the premises, in due time; and also as to the law, if any, extending the pension in certain cases made during the last session of Congress, as as to any that may now be in existence.
Very respectfully yours, -
